RND ParserLocate this document in the navigation structure

Recursive Non-Descent (RND) parsing is used for obtaining a descriptively specified parser for the programming language ABAP.

In the context of ABAP source code development, the RND parser is used for syntax coloring and code completion. To this end, the definition of the ABAP language is loaded from the ABAP back end.

On the RND Parser properties page of an ABAP project, you have the following options:

Option Description
Open folder This button is used by kernel developers who want to replace the existing .pad file directly. After you have restarted the client, the syntax coloring of all opened editors is performed.
Note A restart itself is not required.
Reload from backend This button is used whenever new ABAP language features are available, such as ABAP keywords and so on, or if the syntax coloring has changed. In this case, you need to reload the configuration from the back end.
Reload from client This button is only used in the context of kernel development.
